WNBA finals’ matinee start time sparks outrage among fans

The WNBA has scheduled its season finale between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries for 12:30 p.m. ET today — a move that has caused outrage among fans because of the league’s reasoning for the decision: An NBA game was scheduled at the same venue for later that day. The move, which CNN reports was flagged by the Atlanta Dream months ago, has garnered attention from upset fans and several celebrities including Hillary Clinton and Flava Flav, who called for a fans to get an excused day off to watch the game.
